Show A gentleman whose truth and verac-Ity verac-Ity Is seldom, If cvcr,(iucstloned,statcs that ho Knows minors frequent certain cer-tain saloons In this city, and lias rca-: son to believe that they secure llcjuor. He Is In a position to know what he is talking about, but Is not In a posl-, tlon to know more about It than tho police olllclals. Another gentleman prominently Identified with the business busi-ness Interests of this city states that he knows gambling is carried on In this city, for ho has seen It, and has reason to believe that It continues. The editor of this paper knows that gambling Is carried on in this city, and yet has not gone out of his daily walks. Tho Inference In these assertions as-sertions is, that the olllclals also ought to know of these things, and knowing of these things should apply the law. Tiik IIkfuhmcan has no desire to crltlzc tho city police olllclals; olll-clals; they have always treated us with every consideration, but as an advocate of morality we cannot fall to urge matters upon the attention of the olllclals and the people. |
